Minde.
I had to title this post with an “M” word to extend the alliteration, but really this post is about all of my friends in Minnesota.
I miss them a lot.
I’ve recently been lamenting that, as hard as it is to make friends in LA, it’s damn near impossible to make real girlfriends. In fact, the only sort-of girlfriend I have here is one that I made in Minnesota and we both found ourselves here simultaneously. I had Rachel at work but she’s since moved to New York (and made me a very sad panda).
So it was very bittersweet to re-engage with my friends in MN, see how they are all moving on with their lives that I’m not around to see on the daily. Minde’s fallen in love, Jenni’s kids are both starting school, Jenny’s killing cancer, Chenney got a dog. Etc. People that I met up with wanted to hear all about me (um, I have a BLOG people!) but I just wanted to listen to them. Leaving you all is definitely the worst part of closing that book.
And I’m going to say one only and final thing about me and Travis. Several years ago we embarked on something that was magical. Two years ago we decided to stable the unicorns. We agreed that we were going to end things the way we started them: with love. And I think we did a pretty fucking outstanding job at that.
Mmmkay, wipe up your tears. It’s time for something more cheerful!
